Synopsis
'Night Always Comes' is a British-American thriller directed by Benjamin Caron. It is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Will Vlautin published in 2021, with a screenplay adapted by Sarah Conradt. The film, starring Vanessa Kirby, is set to premiere worldwide on August 15, 2025, through the streaming platform Netflix.
Kirby plays Lynette, a young woman who has to take care of her addicted mother and her older brother with a disability. Now, after some problems with her parent, she must raise a significant amount of money in just one night to avoid losing the house they live in. To do this, she will have to venture into the most dangerous places in Portland, Oregon, where she will face dark ghosts from a past she thought she had left behind.
In addition to Kirby, the cast of 'Night Always Comes' includes Jennifer Jason Leigh, Zack Gottsagen, Stephan James, Randal Park, Julia Fox, Michael Kelly, and Eli Roth among others. The film is entirely shot in Portland, where it is also set. Following its release, the film generally receives mixed and acceptable reviews, highlighting its effective development and Kirby's strong performance but also noting the lack of any originality that would take it a step further.
